Every file in the library has a metadata card. What you set there overrides its category, and it travels with the file into any rundown it is placed in.
What you can set
Category. The most important one: colour, bug, age rating, whether it is subtitled and whether it appears in the guide all follow from it.
Trim in and out. To drop the clock at the head or the credits at the tail without touching the file. AURA respects the trim everywhere: duration, subtitles and calculated times.
Aspect. What to do when the file is not 16:9 — fit, fill or crop.
Airing window. From when and until when it may be broadcast. A spot whose campaign ends on the 30th stops airing by itself on the 31st, with nobody having to remember.
Subtitles. Force this programme to always be subtitled, or never, regardless of its category. And if the video carries burned-in lower thirds, tell AURA to raise the subtitle line.
Sponsorship. Which bumper accompanies this programme, before and after.
Folder metadata
Folders have metadata too, and whatever you set there is inherited by everything below it. That is the convenient way to mark a whole format: sponsorship, raised subtitles or category, all in one place.
